The Dementia of the Southern Poverty Law Center: The Pamela Geller File *by, Schuyler Montague* February 5, 2013 shariaunveiled.wordpress.com For anyone unfamiliar with the Southern Poverty Law Center, you would not gain much insight judging by their name. Rarely, if at all does anything they do relate to poverty, except maybe to bring some citizens closer to it. The SPLC is a private organization with strong ties to the federal government, namely the FBI, the BATF and the DOJ and have often found themselves on the wrong side of an issue and the wrong side of history itself. Imagine my surprise while doing some research recently when I came across an Intelligence File on Pamela Geller on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s website. I could not believe the degree of bias and prejudice that was falsely assigned to her. Morris Dees and Joseph J. Levin Jr. , the co-founder and chief trial counsel for the SPLC must be smoking something at the SPLC headquarters in Montgomery, Alabama/ Pamela Geller has dedicated her life to being a voice for the voiceless. She puts her life on the line every day. She is the leading voice for muslim women and muslim girls who dare not to speak out of fear. All around the world today there are muslim women and girls who find themselves enslaved to a 7th century indoctrination, often prisoners in their own homes. They live in fear and fear to live. They are often not allowed out of their houses without their husbands, they are not afforded an education. This is a world where women are humiliated and flogged in public each day, where women are buried in the ground, up to their chest and stoned to death and for what? Because the woman was raped and she is to blame. This is a world where little girls are murdered, but not by a stranger but rather by one they love. They fear the thought of even a glance at a boy, lest they be taught the meaning of “honour” in their world. This is the link to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Lack of Intelligence” File for Pamela Geller: splcenter.org

Controversial Menendez Donor Melgen Tied to LA Mayor Villaraigosa Menendez donor under ethical cloud pictured with Villaraigosa, N.J. Dem. Sen. Menendez Sen. Menendez, Villaraigosa, Melgen / VOXXI BY: Mary Lou Byrd February 5, 2013 freebeacon.com A new connection has emerged between Los Angeles Mayor Anthonio Villaraigosa and the eye doctor at the center of controversy surrounding Sen. Bob Menendez (D., NJ). The Washington Free Beacon found Villaraigosa pictured alongside both Menendez and controversial donor Salomon Melgen at a gala honoring the Democratic mayor. The National Association of Latino Electoral and Appointed Officials (NALEO) honored Villaraigosa last February in Washington D.C. A photographer from the doctor’s company, VOXXI, captured photos of Melgen with several prominent Democrats, including Villaraigosa. Melgen is the chairman of the board of VOXXI. VOXXI Villaraigosa is pictured with Melgen and Menendez in two photos: the three are smiling in one shot and engaged in conversation in another. VOXXI NALEO is an influential Latino organization that represents thousands of Latino elected and appointed officials. Melgen is now the subject of an FBI investigation and his office was raided last week. He has not been charged. The depth of the relationship between Melgen and Villaraigosa is unclear. Neither Villaraigosa’s nor Melgen’s offices returned a request for comment. Menendez’s close relationship with Melgen has come under scrutiny. Reports indicate that Menendez used his influence as a senator and urged officials to enforce a contract that would directly benefit his long-time friend and donor, Melgen. The contract was reportedly valued between $500 million to $1 billion over 20 years. The doctor had an ownership stake in a company tied to port security. Aides to Menendez admitted the senator spoke to State Department officials about Melgen’s contract. “Menendez, chairman of the Senate subcommittee that holds sway over the Dominican Republic, subsequently urged officials in the State and Commerce departments to press the Dominican government to revive that contract, at an estimated $500 million value,” the New York Times reported. Flights the senator accepted on Melgen’s private jet are now the center of a Senate Ethics probe. Menendez, who accepted two round-trip flights on Melgen’s plane in 2010, never reported the flights as gifts. Menendez reimbursed Melgen for the flights once it became clear they could become the center of an ethical controversy. Menendez wrote a check from his personal account to Melgen for $58,500 last month. New Jersey Republicans requested a probe into the flights in November. The Florida eye doctor has been involved in numerous investments in this country, the Free Beacon has found. He was listed as the manager of DRM Med Assist in West Palm Beach, and was the cofounder of Seisint, a computer company that claimed it could help locate 9/11 terrorists. He is also listed as a manager of Live Sports IP, LLC in West Palm Beach, which was formed in 2011. Melgen also served on the board of the public company, Metropolitan Health Networks. SEC documents showed he owned more than 850,000 shares of the company. He resigned in 2005. Melgen and Menendez have shared the spotlight at other Latino organization events. Menendez attended the Dominican American National Roundtable (DANRS) in 2010 and joined the DANRS Board in honoring Melgen. Menendez also attended the launch party of VOXXI in Washington, D.C. and the company heaped praise on the senator. The CEO of VOXXI called Menendez the “Most Respected Hispanic Political Voice In Washington.”
